Subject: [PATCH net-next v9 3/8] net: ethtool: add support for symmetric-xor RSS hash

Symmetric RSS hash functions are beneficial in applications that monitor
both Tx and Rx packets of the same flow (IDS, software firewalls, ..etc).
Getting all traffic of the same flow on the same RX queue results in
higher CPU cache efficiency.

A NIC that supports "symmetric-xor" can achieve this RSS hash symmetry
by XORing the source and destination fields and pass the values to the
RSS hash algorithm.

The user may request RSS hash symmetry for a specific algorithm, via:

    # ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg> symmetric-xor

or turn symmetry off (asymmetric) by:

    # ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg>

The specific fields for each flow type should then be specified as usual
via:
    # ethtool -N|-U eth0 rx-flow-hash <flow_type> s|d|f|n
